Roblox has launched its first AI-assisted content creation tools, Code Assist and Material Generator, in beta. These AI tools can automate basic coding tasks such as generating code snippets and object textures based on short prompts. While they are not yet capable of generating a playable Roblox experience from a text description, Head of Roblox Studio Stef Corazza believes that these tools represent the first step toward the future of game development. Roblox’s vision is to make every user on the platform a creator through Generative AI-assisted content creation, where users can create code, 3D models, and more with little more than text prompts. Code Assist and Material Generator are the first steps toward realizing this vision, although Roblox cautions that Code Assist may generate “incorrect” or “misleading” information. Nonetheless, Roblox is confident that these AI tools may be able to generate fully playable, interactive 3D scenes from a simple prompt in just a few years.
Roblox has taken a major step toward its goal of making “every user on Roblox a creator” by launching its first AI tools, Code Assist and Material Generator, both in beta. These AI-assisted tools can automate basic coding tasks such as generating useful code snippets and object textures based on short prompts, allowing users to focus more on creative work. Although neither tool is capable of generating a playable Roblox experience from a text description, Roblox’s Head of Roblox Studio, Stef Corazza, believes that these tools are the first step towards the future of game development. He stated that it may only be a few years before these tools can generate fully playable, interactive 3D scenes from a simple prompt.
Code Assist appears promising, but Roblox cautions that it may generate “incorrect” or “misleading” information, so users should review and test the code suggestion to ensure its contextual appropriateness. Roblox’s announcement for the tools provides a few examples of the generated realistic textures, such as those for a “bright red rock canyon” and “stained glass,” as well as producing several lines of functional code that make certain objects change color and self-destruct after a player interacts with them.
These AI tools are part of Roblox’s vision for Generative AI-assisted content creation, where users can create code, 3D models, and more with little more than text prompts. Roblox hopes that these AI tools will allow “every user on Roblox to be a creator” by assisting users in automating basic coding tasks. With Code Assist and Material Generator’s beta launch, Roblox has taken the first steps toward realizing its vision for Generative AI-assisted content creation.
